HEIR - the Historic Environment Image Resource

Join us as we research changes in our environment and landscape from old glass plate and lantern slide photographs. Heir is an important new resource for tracking environmental and climate change, understanding human impact on the planet, identifying endangered landscapes and endangered archaeology, reconstructing lost buildings and habitats, and so much more.
